For some time, at my request, thenewgreen would send me tracks of songs that he was working on, and I would send him feedback. It's difficult to describe in words what you might be able to actually do in production. One of my common criticisms of tng's tracks, was that they felt a bit overloaded. Of course, it's a matter of personal taste, however, he is an effective lyricist, and I often felt that he often gave the vocal elements too much competition. It would be libertating to be able to simply mix music to rather than to describe it.

I really like this mix, kleinbl00. I'm curious, do you think an artist generally benefits from having someone else produce their music rather than themselves? I would expect that not only does the process take the music in a direction that the artist might not have considered, but it might also provide fresh perspective that could improve his/her future work.
